Please note that the end of nomination is 23:59 UTC on 18 June. I would suggest that anyone who accepts a nomination for Chair should provide and Expression of Interest explaining why they believe they will seerve the ALAC and At-Large well in this position, and what/how they would like to accomplish. And anything else they believe is relevant.

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: ALAC Chair
by Alan Greenberg June 4, 2018

June 4, 2018

My current term as an ALAC Member expires at the end of the AGM in October of this year, as does my term as ALAC Chair. I have previously said that I would not be a candidate for Chair of the ALAC for the coming year and in fact I am not a candidate for an ALAC seat. When the issue was discussed in San Juan, there was a general consensus within the ALAC that the position should be opened sooner rather than later, but not before the selection of RALO-appointed ALAC members was complete. The roster of 2018-2019 ALAC Members is now complete, with the exception of the NomCom appointees from North America and Europe. ALAC Rules of Procedure (RoP - http://tinyurl.com/ALAC-RoP-2016-09) 5.2 states "A person nominated to be Chair does not need to be an ALAC Member at the time of nomination but must have an expectation of being an ALAC Member after the next ALAC Annual General Meeting...". The 13 known Members on next year's ALAC are (in alphabetic order of region and given name): AF: Hadia Elminiawi, Seun Ojedeji, Tijani Ben Jemaa AP: Holly Raiche, Kaili Kan, Maureen Hilyard EU: Bastiaan Goslings, Sébastien Bachollet LAC: Bartlett Morgan, Humberto Carrasco, Ricardo Holmquist NA: John Laprise, Marita Moll Current NomCom appointees to the ALAC from EU and NA are Andrei Kolesnikov and Javier Rúa-Jovet. With this message, nominations, including self-nominations are now being accepted. In accordance with the ALAC RoP, this Call for Nominations will remain open for no less than 14 days and will end at 23:59 on Monday, 18 June 2018. ONLY CURRENT ALAC MEMBERS MAY MAKE NOMINATIONS. Nominations must be sent to the ALAC list. Messages accepting or declining nominations must be sent to the ALAC list no later than 7 days after the close of nominations. If there is more than one candidate, there will be an opportunity during the ICANN meeting in Panama to talk to the candidates and an election will be held during the meeting. The winner must receive votes from the majority of sitting ALAC Members. The ALAC RoP Section 17.2 details the election procedure and how to proceed in the case of a variety of unusual conditions.

Under ICANN's post-IANA Stewardship Transition Bylaws [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>, the Empowered Community has the faculty to review, consider, or reject these documents before they go into effect. ICANN's FY19 Operating Plan and Budget and updates to the Five-Year Operating Plan [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…> are the result of 11 months of collaborative work between the ICANN organization, the community, the PTI Board, and the ICANN Board Finance Committee. These documents include: * Highlights of ICANN Operations, including a summary of changes from the Draft FY19 Operating Plan and Budget. * An Overview of ICANN's FY19 Budget. * A Detailed description of the FY19 Operating Plan. * Detailed descriptions of the portfolios of activities supporting the goals and objectives described in the ICANN Strategic Plan for the Fiscal Years of 2016 to 2020, and the updated Five-Year Operating Plan. * Detailed lists of projects for each portfolio and project-level budgeted costs. The continuous participation of the community in the planning process is a cornerstone of ICANN's transparency and accountability to the global multistakeholder community. ICANN thanks all community members who contributed to the development of the budget. Access budget documents for FY19 and previous years are published here [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>. According to the ICANN Bylaws Annex D, Section 6.2 [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>, the Empowered Community now has the opportunity to consider if the following powers should be exercised: * Reject the ICANN FY19 Operating Plan and Budget. * Reject updates to the Five-Year Operating Plan. These documents will go into effect after giving the Empowered Community the time to consider if they will raise a petition rejecting the budgets and/or operating plans. Decisional participants of the Empowered Community have 28 days to bring forth a petition rejecting any of these documents. In this sense, under Annex D, Section 2 of the Bylaws, there is a 21-day period for any decisional participant to raise a petition to reject documents, followed by a 7-day period to obtain support for the petition. For more information on the petition process, please refer to the ICANN Bylaws [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>. If the Empowered Community does not raise a petition, the budget will become effective 1 July 2018. What Is the Empowered Community? The Empowered Community is the mechanism through which ICANN's Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) can organize under California law to legally enforce community powers. The community powers and rules that govern the Empowered Community are defined in the ICANN Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Who Can Participate in the Empowered Community? All of ICANN's SOs, At-Large, and Governmental ACs, can be decisional participants in the Empowered Community, including: * Address Supporting Organization (ASO) * Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) * Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) * At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) * Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) How Does the Empowered Community Use Its powers? The Empowered Community has an escalation process to reject ICANN's FY19 Operating Plan and Budget, the FY19 IANA Budget, and updates to the Five-Year Operating Plan. This escalation process gives SOs and ACs opportunities to discuss solutions with the ICANN Board.
